Oldham Netball Club's Premier League side had a tough journey away from home to face arch rivals Leeds Athletic. This was the first game in the second round of fixtures and Oldham were depleted in numbers due to a national selection weekend.
Oldham notoriously had a slow start to the game and in the first five minutes the home side went on a four goal run without an answer from Oldham. However, the travelling side answered well to this with some great through court pressure. This forced Leeds into mistakes and Krista Enziano and Kathryn Turner were finding the net well with their opportunities. At the end of the first quarter Oldham had edged into a lead 11-8.
